§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what conclusions he has reached on the advice received by him relating to the likely efficacy of a 50-mile British fishing limit for the preservation of fish stocks.
§ Mr. MillanCoastal belts under the exclusive control of the United Kingdom 937W are an important element in the conservation of the fish stocks on which our fishing industry depends, but would not in themselves ensure the preservation of the main stocks which extend over a much wider area. An adequate conservation policy requires arrangements agreed within the EEC for the waters of EEC member countries in addition to agreements with those third countries with which some stocks are shared.
